Rapper Styles P and Chef Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park decided it was time to give peanut butter and jelly an upgrade and created Styles PB&J. Humm told Food & Wine, "We're both using our platform to encourage incorporating a plant-based lifestyle, even if it is just one meal at a time."
Peanut butter and jelly is a staple in most household pantries, and it has been for generations, but this high-end take on a comforting classic. This two-in-one product is infused with maca protein and Farmacy For Life's Irish sea moss, offering even more nutrient-dense benefits. Additionally, this upleveled take on peanut butter and jelly in one jar helps to support Styles P and Chef Humm's work to boost community food accessibility via Eleven Madison Home's food truck, which donates meals to food-insecure communities in partnership with Rethink Food.
